Which prospect has been on as much of an island as Connor Bedard?
Early Sakic and Gretzky
@@user-su7fq5jf4p I don't know if I would say that. During his rookie year, he at least had good players around him. Bedard Has no one.
@@user-su7fq5jf4pMy bad McDavid only had what Eberle in his prime Draisital who was still very good Nugent Hopkins who was elite Taylor Hall who also was elite. Yet you say McDavid had no one when Bedard now has Kurashev and Foligno???
@@4u2nvHock3y Your comparing Players who Are not on the level of what McDavid had and listen mcdavid is the best player in the world. I'm not saying he isn't I'm just saying that you have to look at the roster. McDavid, at least had a little support. Obviously not that much, but he has more than bedard did
@godslayer8894 It was an exaggeration. Clearly McDavid had way more support then Bedard. It shouldn't even be a conversation
I think right now Bedard is most unhappy about having to eat through a straw.
I dont think most fans realize, they have so many injuries right now and the reason they're not doing so well is because they sold everything for bedard, if you want the first overall pick you have to be bad, really bad. If Crosby wasn't drafted to Pittsburgh, the penguins wouldn't be there. So give it time, they are rebuilding, they are being bad to get good.
Same with Lemieux before him and how many first overall picks did Edmonton squander before they got McDavid? Chicago will turn it around, it’s just a matter of time.
Yep, just like Wembanyama on San Antonio. Hawks management just need to not suck with terrible decisions like Leafs have done the past few... decades?
Before Edmonton won all those first overall picks ... there was Pittsburgh... Crosby's draft year was after a whole lockout season... every team in the NHL had an equal shot at winning the draft lottery... and Penguins won... many claim the league rigged the draft for Pittsburgh to win because Pittsburgh was in bad shape business wise and having Crosby shadow Mario (he lived at Lemieux's for his first season.)
4 straight years: Flower (1st overall), Malkin (2nd Overall), Crosby (1), Staal (2)... and... Letang in the 3rd round of Crosby's draft year... Crosby was super lucky to get drafted by Pittsburgh ... lots of talent to grow with and surrounded by all star vets.
I feel bad for Bedard... he's in a worse predicament than Lindros when he.refused.to sign with the Nordiques
Imagine if the NHL has used the previous draft years order... Crosby would have played alongside Ovechkin.
I don’t think most Davidson apologists realize the team has regressed substantially since Bowman and is currently the worst Hawk roster of the past half-century with spending lower than since before the cap era. That’s what Wirtz cheapness looks like.
I was at the Oilers vs Blackhawks game and let me tell you that goal, that early into the game, was surreal. He’s so fast, so accurate, so talented. It is actually hard to believe watching him IN PERSON. I know they lost the game, but that doesn’t diminish that guys’ talent. Unreal hockey player and I can’t wait to see what happens with the future of his career.
Thought the same thing when I saw him in New Jersey. It happened to be the game he got cracked- what a riot.
Bedard is the ONLY reason I continued to watch the Blahcocks! Cya in a few weeks Connor!
schlop schlop schlop
Conparing the Blackhawks roster to the Leafs core says more about the Leafs than about rebuilding teams lol.
For sure. But the fact that 3 players are going to make more than an entire roster is just funny. Not a slight to Toronto though
@@RobTalksHockey I can speak for a lot of non-leaf fans that we def take it as a slight towards toronto lol.
Matthews wasn't viewed as a generational talent going into his draft year there was quite a bit of discussion between him and Laine going first overall throughout the year.. Very comparable to the 2019 draft with Jack Hughes and Kakko
His skill was never an issue. It was his disturbing behaviour and criminality that almost held him back
@@ctaylor8003 Bro, what are you even talking about, kid?
Matthews was definitely considered a generational talent, as was Jack Eichel. He played on Team North America in the World Cup of Hockey in 2016 without ever playing an NHL game. In fact, if Matthews was born 2 days earlier he would've been eligible for the McDavid/Eichel draft and there were some who said he would've been picked before Eichel.
The media was trying to develop a rivalry like the Crosby/Ovi rivalry. Laine was on fire before the draft so some thought he could challenge for first overall...at least that was the narrative.
@cjlb49 Matthews made the Team NA team after being drafted, generational talents are players who are talked about years before bring drafted, like Crosby McDavid and Bedard were. Matthews wasn't in the same realm. Also the Ovi Crosby comparison doesn't even make sense because they were both #1 picks starting at the same time and both put up 100 point seasons as rookies which has never happened before in the history of the NHL. The talents I mentioned were all known to go first overall, so the fact that there was even any debate with Matthews is evidence he wasn't viewed in the same class. Neither was eichel so not even sure why you brought him up
@@cjlb49Ah. No. Matthews isn’t a generational talent. Nor was he ever considered one.
There have been 5 generational talents in the modern NHL era. Orr, Gretzky, Lemieux, Crosby, and McDavid. Thats it. Not every player is. And contrary to what the video states, Ovie isn’t one either. But he is close as you can get.
I would put Matthews in the same category. With reservations. Kucherov, Mac, Drai, Ovie also. They are close. Real close.
Two things separates generational talents from everyone else. Their elite skill and hockey iq. They are playing checkers while everyone else is playing chess.
A good indicator would be their assist totals or assists per game.
Matthews, Mac, Ovie, have generational skill but not the hockey iq to go with it. Mac has shades of it though.
Kucherov does no doubt have generational hockey iq, but not generational skill like a Mac, or Ovie. Physical skill. He is unique in that respect. But scary thing he is getting better as amazing as that may seem. He has that elite skill but he had to work to develop that.
Mac, Matthews, Ovie for example naturally have it.
I would say Jagr, Messier for example would be in a similar group.
Bedard is considered one. We shall see but he is certainly playing like one. The term “generational, has been over used too much. It means the best of their era.
Crosby dominated for his generation, McDavid his, now Bedard is a wait and see.
Matthews is a fantastic player. Generational, not quite.
SO I am a hawks fan and am watching this happen live. In addition to what you brough up with injuries.
1. The Hawks are letting the young kids play to see how they do. For years this was a major issue. I Like Richardson as a head coach and Am glad the kids are being coached by him.
2. The Hawks have solid prospects. 6 of them were in the World Junior. 4 on Team USA, I believe at leaste 3 will be on the hawks In the next year or two. Nazaar (wing) might even play with Bedard. There are a few others in college hockey i am keeping my eye on that show promise.
3. The Hawks have been taking on teams bad contracts to get those prospects. Next season is the first they can use their salary cap space. Right now they have abut 8 mill in space if cap friendly is to be believed.
4. The Hawks are thinking long term. Building a core, then adding to it. I fully expect a large turnover of people on the ice while looking for all those peices as well as getting the kids to grow.
In addition
The Hawks started to show a physical style of hockey. I was impressed at the Hawks facing the Oilers (Jan 9, 2024). Lost 2-1 and only allowed 15 shots on goal. They physically made sure that the oilers knew exactly where they were and that they would feel sore the next day. If they can have their bottom lines play that way, then a great offensive line centered with Bedard should win many hockey games.
I’d say Nathan McKinnon should’ve been on the list for the generational talent
He's easily better than Matthews. He's been the 2nd best player in the league for a while now. I'd easily put Kucherov ahead of Matthews as well, but Kucherov isn't a centre so moot point.
@baiqi44 I agree and I'm a die hard leafs fan! Those are the only two guys I would put above Matthews though other than the mentioned
Die hard pens fan here, yeah Mackinnon and Ovechkin should be on this list
i mean he surely has the hype of one
mackinnon and ovi yes I eman ovi literally is and stamkos should too cause he basically is ovi 2.0 @@christopherharte4741
@2:20 this is how injuries have felt for the Wild as well this season, unsure the exact numbers but it's been brutal
they were once icing almost 50 million in cap at one point between injuries and buyouts
@@jordynbebus6641I saw somewhere that it ended up reaching $78 million at one point
Except the Wild, instead of rebuilding during a time of immense cap hell, they decided to sign a bunch of old dudes to limp into the playoffs only to lose in the first round. They had a prime opportunity the past few years to get amazing draft picks, but failed. I get it from a business standpoint, you want fans in the stands, but this is MN, we fill the Excel whether we suck or not.
@@JohnB-mo4kq We had our chance in 2021-22 and choked… gotta remain competitive during Kaprizov era guessing that was their plan. Now it’s going to fail.
@@jordynbebus6641 But if remaining competitive means losing in the first round over and over. How is that helping Kaprizov? Even in 21-22, we clearly didn't have the depth for a Cup run.
Teemu Selanne? Mario Lemieux? They both had pretty incredible rookie seasons, outscoring teammates by a lot, and especially in Mario's case, on really terrible teams!
No one will ever break Teemu rookie year for goals! NEVER
Yeah, I've never actually seen a true generational talent (forwards only) not score over a point per game average (minimum 40 games) in his rookie season. Not saying Bedard isn't going to be one, but I'm just saying I've never seen that player yet so Bedard might become the first. He was on pace for almost a point a game when he got something like 32 in 34 games and then started struggling a bit after that, just before his injury.
The video is wrong though on one topic. Bedard wasn't the only one with horrible linemates/teammates in his rookie season for a generational talent to perform really well. Lemiuex was on a horrible team with very bad linemates/teammates and he still scored over 100 points in his rookie season. True generational talents will turn other players around him into "good" point producers even in his rookie season.
That don't count because its not Bedard 😂
I've got a beef to pick with you about your analysis. Where did you get your stats to make your graph? Total points by top 5 teammates for McDavid's rookie year was 233 (Hall 65, Draisaitl 51, Eberle 47, Pouliot 36, RNH 34). Total points by top 5 teammates for Crosby's rookie year was 252 (Gonchar 58, Recchi 57, Leclair 51, Malone 44, Palffy 42). Total points by top 5 teammates for Matthews was 300 (JVR 62, Marner 61, Nylander 61, Kadri 61, Bozak 55). Your placement of these players on your graph is way off and I'm not sure where you get that the average production totals of the top 5 players would be 304 points.
Also, McDavid didn't have Draisaitl dishing to him all year. Draisaitl started that year in the AHL then played with Hall when he joined the team. McDavid played a lot of time with Yakupov at the beginning of the year. Crosby's rookie year was impressive because he got 44 points more than his closest teammate. 3 of the top 4 point getters on the Maple Leafs were rookies in Matthew's rookie year.
Plus, you say this is something that's never been seen in NHL history. But, you talk about Ovechkin in this video. The combined total of this top 5 teammates was 219 which I agree is more than the projected totals of Bedard's teammates, however, Ovechkin got 52 goals and 106 points in his rookie season.
Finally, you say that if Bedard's teammates got 37% more points and that translated to his totals he'd be on pace for 110 points. What? He was on pace for 69 points before his injury. 69 X 1.37 = 95. Nowhere near 110 points.
I love Bedard, but come on. Your math just doesn't add up.
I calculated the top 5 scorers on an 82 game pace. I couldve included Ovi, but I was referencing the Center position
@@RobTalksHockey Ok, that's a weird hypothetical then. Still though, that 37% increase on his projected 69 points is 95 points not 110. Which is less than Crosby's rookie year.
I'm not even a Blackhawks fan and I'm so choked that Bedard is injured.
Personally, I feel bad for the kid. But I am beyond tired of hearing about this player who plays for a completely irrelevant team.
Sorry it’s hit hockey, if we have to turn it into ringette so guys like him can shine , you can keep it. They need somebody like Wendal Clark to teach these floaters to keep they’re head out of their butt.
Agreed, Bedard needs better linemates all through the lineup.
no way, your saying a team on a rebuild needs better players?!? crazy
@@peterlawrence7427facts, all the talent will be coming to the NHL in the next 3 years, plus all the money we’ll have and draft capital. Don’t talk anything sports with punks whose mommy didn’t let go outside and play with the rough boys!
Injuries suck. Our Blue Jackets admittedly arent Stanley cup contenders. But injuries have really put a dent in our lineup last year and this year.
Ain't that the truth? Injuries have been HELL for us.
KEep it up, lets get rob to 100k
MacKinnon is as good as Crosby, McDavid and Matthews.
In fact he's just as talented, but beastlier.
Nova Scotia, reppin with weapons.
was wondering why Mac wasn't on that list of players in the beginning tbh...
ya i thought it was weird mackinnon wasnt mentioned, oh well. thats cool i didnt know he was from NS tho
MacKinnon is probably as good as Matthews. Neither of them are anywhere near Crosby or McDavid, or any other generation-defining talent like Ovechkin or Kane.
Would be interesting to see devil's vs blackhawks now. Both teams have their generational player out and a bunch of key players are also on the injury.
Devils have way more available talent
Nice vid!
This is why i want nhl players back in the Olympics. You get to see what players are like with good teammates.
How is Ovi not apart of the generational stars list. He may not be good this year but he's still a generational goal scorer and player.
well maybe because this is a list of centers and he is a left wing?
lets try our best to concentrate on the theme here ok ....good
I think Ovechkin and Kane both need to be in there.
for the 2nd time...they are not centers...hence why they are not on the list...follow along little girl

Great video bud! The graph was incredible.

He didn’t really apply to this video since he wasn’t super productive his first few years besides his rookie year
He didn’t come out of the draft as a “generational phenom”
Or OVI? Yeah know the leading active goal scorer
@@RobTalksHockey Not only that but people thought he was kinda a disappointment for his first few years in the league, Crazy how he went from barely managing 50 points to 100+ points if hes healthy
@@grahammckinnon6455yeah, Ovi is always forgotten in favor of Sydney crybaby
I really like some of the Hawks who have stepped up this season though. Kurashev, Donato, and Dickinson have stepped up and have played pretty solid hockey. Korchinski is also playing pretty well as a young defensemen, and I can see him being really good in the future.
I agree although I would switch out Donato for Mrazek, Donato has been a bit of a disappointment in my opinion and mrazek should be, in my opinion, in the talks for the Vézina for the unbelievable games he has played.
With the first half of the season over, what kind of draft pick are the Hawks looking at this year? Are there any big names in the upcoming draft?
This channel is proof that Quality > Quantity
Wait, I thought the "X" axis was the horizontal and "Y" was the vertical?
“Unknown incident”😂you know what he did
Great vid. Subbed and liked.
Damn no love/honorable mention for Barkov? Crazy
Dude!!! So close!!! Any day now...😁😎
Nailed the Flames take.
The situation Bedard was drafted first overall into was similar to Taylor Hall and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. Hall recorded 42 points in 62 games in his rookie season and peaked at 93 points in 76 games. RNH recorded 52 points in 62 games in his rookie season and peaked at 104 points in 82 games albeit that season was playing with McDavid. What Bedard was doing given his team situation prior to the injury was ridiculous and right on par with McDavid. While my pre season prediction of "97 points if he doesn't get hurt" is now out of the question for Bedard, I wouldn't be surprised to see 130 point plus season(s) in Bedard's near future if he's provided some teammates of even mediocre quality. Also can we just take a moment to recognize Petr Mrazek and Arvid Soderblom as the only two players (Bedard excluded) who are keeping that Chicago dumpster fire from looking like a bottom of the barrel Junior C team that's trying to compete in the NHL
I do love this theory and it makes total sence! Thank you!
Flip those axis’s. Remember: “Y to the sky”
Shorter players (or anyone) should be able to use full face protection if they want to. They’re at a disadvantage when getting hit by bigger players.
The PLAYERS don't want it. They went kicking and screaming into first helmets and then Visors.
You have the axes wrong the y is the vertical and the x is horizontal
Just bought Maple Leafs Team pack, also back in november i got to sit behind the stl blues bench to take a picture of neighbors with the canvas black jake neighbors, and just got the makar opc plat rookie auto graded by TAG so hoping its good grade when it comes back, RTH hope the new years been treating you well!!
Thanks for the support brother, I'll have it shipped out first tomorrow! That's awesome though haha, good luck!
I am really happy to see Bedard. He is just a star. Will grow so much with other good players. Can’t wait for it.
I thought it was going to be about early hair loss and how to deal with it.
I loved the comparison between the leafs and hawks cap distribution. Hawks could probably beat the leafs in a 7 game series too
So Matthews is considered more of a generational talent than Ovechkin and Patrick Kane?
Ovechkin no, Kane yes
He said Centers
The qualifier is Centers, not Wingers.
@magenstaffarts Okay, I was just curious. I only started watching in 2018 but it seems like the Blackhawks had a ton of success with Kane. Doesn't seem he gets the same level of respect as Ovi/Crosby or even the younger generation like McDavid/Matthews.
Hot take with the Bedard hit.. most people say that the hit was clean or bedard is soft, blah blah blah.. completely disregarding the fact that HE BROKE HIS FREAKING JAW. Last time i checked my jaw is very much attached to my head, but not hockey players? Strange. 🤔
Crosby' rookie season had almost every single player retire before the all-star game that was veterans. So these numbers are skewed.
and to think that apparently my bosses daughter and coworker is "dating" Bedard lmao fml
Bedard will get better teammates and who knows maybe they get Celebrini. Toronto drafted Nylander and Marner before Matthews. Pitt drafted Malkin before Crosby and he played with Mario in his rookie year. Draisaitl and RNH were drafted before Mcdavid.
Toews and Keith before Kane
@@Ironguy-gm6vf Keith was drafted nowhere in the neighborhood of Toews or Kane, many seasons earlier and by a completely different GM.
Hey! I will have no ill spoken of Perry. Corey Perry was like a father to Bedard.
What’s Bedard not happy about?
Bedard should have gone to Arizona.
Bedard should of went to the Habs or knucks
I’m guessing the NHL is thrilled with him going to a U.S. original six club instead of being stuck in Montreal or in (yet another) Pacific Time Canadian club like McDavid.
Man, Bebard's numbers would be awesome if he went to a team that didn't sell off every scrap of quality they had to be a terrible team in order to land Bedard.
If peterson doesnt want to resign with the canucks, trade him and a first to chicago for bedard, and boom canucks are now the best team, also bedard if traded is coming to canucks, he said so himself
No mention to Ovi who also separated himself from everyone
He said centers
Misnaming the x and y axis hurts my mathing soul
I the excel sheet, script and the changed the orientation of the graph. Forgive me
Imma just say
Joe sakic in the Q did it
ok… but that’s gonna be fixed this season. the cap is wide open for free agents
Nothing about his injury? I’d like to see Bedard have a little more modesty away from home ice. I know the trend lately is to taunt the local fans but that is not a good luck for a supreme talent like Bedard. We saw at the recent IHF that the US won. Teams would all look to the local Swedish crowd when they scored against their team. Conner should take the high road and simply celebrate with his line mates when he scores. Local fans can appreciate his talent much more when he’s not saying “Look I just made your goalie look stupid.”
Few things say more about someone who is incredibly talented than modest demeanor.
Including Auston Matthews in the last great 4 players is an absolute joke
It’s hard to ignore that he’s outscoring Ovi in the same amount of games played and everyone considered Ovi to be generational
It’s soooooo bizarre what is going on in Chicago.
Which part?
@@MisterCaution all the players they have traded away the past few years, how fast they have fallen in the league, the players they brought in this year to work with Bedard who are gone, injured. Did you not watch the video?
@@seen48 I did, and I watch the team. The Hawks are in the middle of a teardown-style rebuild and staying at the cap floor to gather early picks. The injuries are certainly stacking up, but they weren’t built to win many games even with a healthy roster. The strategy itself is obvious, but of course there is room to disagree with it-I certainly do, but I’m in the minority in Chicago.
@@MisterCaution hey I get it. My brothers a huge Hawks fan so we talk about them from time to time. Bedard looks great out there and hopefully they can and will build around him. As an Oilers fan I went through what they called a decade of darkness. Rebuilding for over 10 years and only having Nuge and McDavid pan out as super high picks.
What if is what if!
I love Bedsy and he needs help asap, Celebrini comes !!
One thing to take into account with how bad the roster is: Ryan Donato, a 3rd/4th liner on the Kraken in the 2022-2023 season, has been a 1st liner for the Blackhawks.
put some respect on my man mackenzie entwistle (sunglass guy lol)
this video very doesnt remember that mcdavid had yakupov on his line
A rare double ‘nice’.
Ur forgetting about Nathan mackinnon
Not knowing what the x and y axis are just kills me.
I made the script before the graphic and ended up making the graph differently 😖
Corey Perry “unknown incident” 🌚
The Hawks suck so bad there is a real chance of them winning the lottery again. If they added Macklin Celebrini, people would lose their F'n minds. I'm here for it, it would be fin to watch.
He can request a trade, or suck it up! life is not fair. the draft lottery idea is majorly flawed
i think Crosby should be by the 250 mark for the graph. it looks like you grabbed his team stats from 06-07 because those top 5 non-including sid have 327 points (one being evgeni malkin), vs the 252 points his teammates had in the rookie 05-06 season. that pens team was awful and finished 2nd last which led to the jordan staal pick 2OA.
For each team I averaged the scoring on an 82 game pace
that makes sense then. thanks for clarifying man! @@RobTalksHockey
The graph is very misleading, because x axis starts at around 190 pts instead of 0. Otherwise Bedard would appear to be much closer to the other three.
I don’t agree with that sentiment. When I change the x axis to not start at zero, I’m basically zooming into the graph which better depicts the differences between stats. If you were trying to explain how the stock market changes on a daily basis, would you show a year to year graph? No you would go down to week to week if not day to day
Finally someone saying this stuff so bluntly (that I’ve seen). Bedard is insane. I don’t even think the people most hyped on Bedard have really grasped the gravity of him. The lack of support translates far more than just “lacking good players”. Chicago literally cannot sustain offensive pressure. Think of the chances any given scorer gets when his team can pressure in the o zone for 30-45 seconds. Almost all of Bedards points are individual efforts off the rush. It’s all he has: making plays off of a rush. He is SO limited in every way yet still producing beyond what any 18 year old should be. I said he’d get 40 his rookie year, and that’s before the injuries and the general lack of offensive production around him. And he still could’ve pushed for it if he hadn’t got hurt. Within a few years, Bedard will have a 70 goal season. And I think his playmaking might be even better than his scoring…
Bedard's +/- is nearly the worst in the league and the rookies, and not it's not because of his teammates it's because when he's on the ice he's a giant defensive liability that any goal scorer would aim for. His overall contribution is a lot of hype but not depth.
Goalies are now poopie. Need to make the net smaller.
At 6:00 it should technically be Syomin, but the NHL transliterates ё as 'e' instead of 'yo' in last names
Nerd
Wait did you say season ending injury then say he’s playing with bottom 6 talent? Which is it.. is he playing or are you just talking out of the side of your neck
Bedard will be the next paul kariya unless the league bans touching altogether.
Imagine! if he had a linemate or two. Driesatl? hoo boy.
How good do you think gavin mckenna is gonna be?
how you gonna use a highlight of zadorov when talking about the flames 'great defensive core' and he's not even on the team anymore😂
Leon wasnt much of a factor for mcdavid, as he didnt break out for 2 more seasons. Marner was zero factor fir matthews, as they didnt play together for almost 4 years. Matthews had hyman n brown for a lot of his rookie season. Sid only really played with malkin on the pp and games they were losing late. So no, bedard is not doing anything they didnt have to deal with as well.
Look at team points between the two for their rookie season. Oilers had a crap ton more team points meaning more chances were being given.
Mccinon not getting listed is crazy
Yeah he's not the only one
Uhhhh because he doesn't belong there.
Eh... Only one has his name on the Stanley Cup. Until that happens, the other two are the Dan Marino's of hockey.
He’s amazing but the thing most don’t factor in is that he is literally their entire offense. His production wouldn’t be so high if his back wasn’t broken from carrying an AHL team to being mediocre
And it’s amazing how Anaheim got screwed out of 2 of em.
Jason dickinson is a good player on the hawks having a good season. Hawks are going to be so good in a couple years.
his last name sounds like a west virginia friday night
The title of this video is just click bait and is very misleading. Bedard isn't mad. He gets it. All that buying a bunch of UFA's and making big trades would do is put us against the cap, likely creating problems down the road, and exhaust all the assets we have built up. Patience is key and there is no need to rush things, yet. Not even close, really.
Does Connor Beddard look like young Tom Riddle to anyone else?
If they are wearing a Blackhawk’s jersey I’m assuming they are professional hockey players. Who the hell are you?
I think there easily could’ve been a solid line mate in Lucas Reichel but in this season he just doesn’t look NHL ready or on the verge of a bust. But thank god for Alex Valasic he is the most surprising player looking better than Seth jones I’d like to see a video on this guy pls @Rob Talks Hockey

@@gianmarcofidanza7173 Reichel has rarely played with Bedard for full games, and certainly not on a consistent basis to form a connection. He’s clearly going through a mental funk that he needs to play through with consistent minutes, more ice time, and better linemates.
Grass is always greener. You named 4 prospects, but there is no telling if any of them will be top six players or even better than Reichel. Statistically, only 1 of those you mentioned is going to be an 82-game NHL player for his career. I mean Nazar just centered the 3rd line in his second WJC-not even top 6 for his 2nd WJC-that’s not good! Hayes looks to be a role player if he ever makes it. Dach is not doing better than Reichel did in the AHL, and why even mention Lardis at all?
Beddard needs to stay in junior till he grows up a bit give him a couple years to develop more ! He looks like a wimp in size to some of the other guys!
Why is Chicago so cheap!? Get this kid some help! Kane, Toews, and Keith did not do it alone OMG
It kills me that the Hawks did what they were supposed to do, bring in support for who the team was banking on. What happens? Everyone gets punched in the testicles. I’m actually starting to worry that they are going to fire the coach as some lunatic show of “shaking things up” and this is just one of those things beyond his control.
LoL, no chance Davidson lets Richardson go. He has a couple years no risk. The team as bad as the roster is has been playing their ass off and keepings games close with teams like Winnipeg, Dallas, and the Oilers. Effort over talent at the moment.
If bedard was on the jackets or ducks omg he would pop off
Bedard will hit 70 goals and 170 points when the Hawks get a team around him.
Or when he gets traded elsewhere
he deserves to be on a better team
YESSIRR imagine if he were playing with ovi on the caps or petterson in vancouver or zegras in anaheim@@kyromellestry2165
What bedard needs is a Kane, or Debrincat, or a Larkin… in other words, your contract is up in 3 years, Bedsy. Come to Detroit; where all the best hawks go when they’re tired of being on a garbage team.
"Hypothetical" that if he played on his home team he would get more points than the current junior roster he plays on...? That is weird...
Both 69 points... Nice!
How is Mathews on this list and Stamkos or Toews isn't?
